The Microsoft Dynamics Customer Excellence Awards, which are presented in 19 categories, recognize and celebrate Microsoft Dynamics customers that have achieved notable accomplishments using RSM McGladrey’s Microsoft Dynamics solutions.

ECRI Institute was recognized for its strong commitment to innovation. Working with Microsoft Dynamics certified partner RSM McGladrey of 224 Strawbridge Drive, Suite 110, Moorestown, NJ, ECRI Institute chose Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM because it had the capability to centralize their data and automate their manual business processes. Another consideration in their decision making was to make the Microsoft platform consistent across all of their business systems to align with the not-for-profit organization’s overall business strategy. After implementing this solution, ECRI Institute has achieved the following results:

• Recouped $5,625,000 in missed monthly revenue by not restricting access on lapsed subscriptions
• Annual savings of $49,615.38 or 2,064 hours from automating processes to restricting access to users without current subscription; ECRI has been able to reassign two full-time equivalent (FTE) web support staff to other jobs
• Saved $150,000 in annual salaries to three FTE circulation administrators.
• Improved customer services by reducing response time for inquiries from 2-8 hours to real-time using Dynamics CRM
• Saved $55,000 in annual maintenance fees by creating one centralized system from three non-integrated systems and eight contact databases

Established in 1997, the Customer Excellence Awards are awarded each year at the Convergence user conference in the United States. Microsoft Dynamics customers, partners and team members submit nominations. Judging teams for each of the categories rate nominees on category specific criteria. Proposed winners for each category are then presented and reviewed by a panel of Microsoft executive judges for final approval. As part of that final review, winning customers, including the Overall Excellence Award winning customers, are chosen.

Now CRM software buyers can use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Quick Quote Cost Estimate tool to get budgetary pricing for both Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premise and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.  The unique feature of this quick quote tool is that it not only calculates the software license fees (for either online or on-premise) it also estimates the cost of implementation and training (either basic or advanced) provided by an experienced Microsoft Dynamics CRM partner. While the CRM Quick Quote tool is not meant as a binding proposal, it aims to give buyers a fairly accurate estimate to begin the budgeting process. After receiving the budgetary cost estimate, CRM software buyers can visit the Directory of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Partners to find a local expert that can provide a detailed, customized proposal with final pricing.

CRM software buyers researching pricing with the quick quote tool are presented with the following options:

Microsoft Dynamics CRM System Selection Options:

• Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online: Software Subscription. You pay a monthly subscription fee per named user for on-demand software hosted by Microsoft. In this model your company does not own the software. Maintenance fees are included in the cost. Includes Sales, Service, Marketing Functionality.
• Microsoft Dynamics CRM On Premise: Software Purchase. You pay a one time fee to purchase the CRM server license and named user licenses and have it installed on your own servers/hardware. In this model your company owns the software. Includes Sales, Service, Marketing Functionality. No user minimum.

 Microsoft Dynamics CRM Implementation Options:

• Basic CRM: Includes Business and Functional Requirements Review, Basic Customization and Configuration, Basic user and administration training. 
• Basic CRM Plus: Includes Business and Functional Requirements Review, Advanced Customization and Configuration, User Training, Administrator Training, Data Configuration, 1 SQL Report Design. 
• Advanced CRM: For companies with detailed reporting requirements, 3rd party integrations, complex data migrations. Includes all elements in CRM and CRM Plus and extensive customization work.

 In the first 30 days after the tool was launched on January 1, 2011, 77 companies have requested a Dynamics CRM Quick Quote. 41 percent chose the Dynamics CRM On Premise option. 58 percent chose the Dynamics CRM Online option.  The average employee count of these companies was 123. The average number of CRM users requested for pricing was 63.  Of the companies that chose to list their current CRM software, 23 percent are using SalesForce.com. At this time the CRM Quick Quote tool does not calculate Dynamics CRM promotions such as the $200 incentive to switch from SalesForce to Dynamics CRM.

“The CRM Software Blog receives over 15,000 visitors each month and has been growing rapidly. The release of the CRM Quick Quote tool is a benefit both to our readers and our members,” says CRM Software Blog Manager, Anya Ciecierski.

Each time a company requests a Dynamics CRM Quick Quote they are referred to a local Microsoft Dynamics CRM partner that is a member of the CRM Software Blog. One Utah based Dynamics CRM partner closed a 16 seat CRM Online deal within one week of receiving a CRM Quick Quote referral from the CRM Software Blog.  This proves that the Dynamics CRM pricing presented was accurate and requested by a company that was far along in the buying cycle.

“We spend a lot of money on Pay Per Click but I feel that the clicks we are getting from the blog sites are better quality, and are from business decision makers doing real research – all for a much lower cost,” says CRM Software Blog member Tom Rogers from Intellitec Solutions.

The CRM Software Blog allows three CRM partners to represent each state or territory and includes a directory of Microsoft Dynamics CRM experts by state. Memberships are also open to companies that provide Microsoft Dynamics CRM add on ISV solutions.  Similar group blogs have a waiting list for membership, especially in popular areas such as California, Illinois, and New York. Microsoft CRM partners interested in membership can contact info@crmsoftwareblog.  Members receive tips on creating educational content and training on blogging best practices.

About the CRM Software Blog

The CRM Software Blog www.crmsoftwareblog.com is a group blogging project that allows Microsoft Dynamics CRM experts to provide reviews, comparisons, and opinions to assist clients in selecting the right CRM software.  Included is a unique cost estimate pricing tool for Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementations at http://www.crmsoftwareblog.com/2009/12/dynamics-crm-quick-cost-estimate/.
